BUT WILL SHE HAVE A CAREER? – AT 1:08 P.M. ET:  Has a line been crossed?  Has history been made?  Or has a mortal sin been committed?  Erin Burnett, a CNN anchor, has now stated clearly, and before God and man, that President Trump may turn out to be an important president.  As of this morning, it's reported that she still had a beating heart.  And a company-provided telephone.  But you never know.  I hope she's escorted everywhere by two guys with Glocks.  From The Hill: 

CNN's Erin Burnett said Thursday that if President Trump can solve the U.S. problem with North Korea, he "would be going down as a great president."

The commentary from the "Outfront" host followed the White House announcement that Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would meet "by May" in an effort to negotiate the denuclearization of North Korea.

“Just an extraordinarily evening and of course opening the door to the big question, if President Trump can truly solve this problem, that would be going down as a great president. And there’s no way around that. That is the reality here," Burnett said at the end of her show.

Earlier in the show, a former adviser on the National Security Council under President Obama said there's "no way" Trump is ready for a direct meeting with Kim by May, as announced by South Korea's national security adviser on Thursday.

"There is no way that President Trump can be ready, by May, to have a high stakes negotiation on denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. It's just impossible," said Samantha Vinograd, who also serves as a CNN national security analyst. 

Trump expressed optimism around the meeting on Twitter Thursday night, stating that "great progress [is] being made" while cautioning that "sanctions will remain" against North Korea "until an agreement is reached." 

COMMENT:  The heretical remark has been uttered.  A great president?  Isn't he Hitler?  Most of the press, from what I can see, has been somewhat restrained in its approach to the announcement of the talks.  They despise Trump, but they don't want to be seen as opposing a peace conference.

Trump might succeed.  He may solve the North Korea problem.  If he does, though, I doubt he'd be given a Nobel Peace Prize, although Kim Jong Un might be given one.  The Nobel Prize is a leftist's prize.  No conservative peacemakers need apply.  Reagan never got one, although he brought the Cold War to a close.
